Re: Maybe eCCR's really aren't the wave of the future?

thanks Dave, so is there a stand alone HUD version of the rEVO, as with the shearwater?, which is basically a po2 monitor without a screen, but totally independent (unfortunately it can only run on all 3 cells).

And, are you still strongly averse to sharing cells or shall I say, are you still an advocate of pure isolation down to at least one cell?

Howdy,

rEvodream can be set to read either 1 or 2 cells. Each cell is displayed in a rotating sequence on both handset and HUD. You select one or two cells when setting it up. A great system for a mCCR is to use one rEvodream to monitor two cells, and use a VR-3 or similar for a redundant PP02 reading as well as deco. Works a champ. Loss of one system does not affect the other.

You can also use a second rEvodream to look at additional cells. Using (2) rEvodreams, you can run two cells to one and one to the other and a VR-3 from a 4th cell, or share the VR-3 cell with one channel of the rEvodream and have each Revodream run 2 cells.

Select the matrix that you like, and go with it. A single rEvodream with a HUD on 2 cells and a VR-3 on a 3rd cell is pretty darned sensible. And you can tuck the rEvodream handset away... once you adapt to the HUD you'll very rarely even look at the handset. The HUD displays the same data, from the same system, with the same resolution. The handset is really redundant. A green HUD and a glimpse at the VR-3 is all you need.
